When I use Xalan UTF-8
encoding, it will make these characters into garbeled mess,
like Â$(A for right tick ,etc.
When I use james clark's xt parser. It will transform these characters
nicely. Converting them to their hex representation ’
Presumably you mean ’ is the decimal reference, not the hex reference.
The hex representation ņ maps out to the small latin letter n with
cedilla. This tells me you're trying to pump Windows encodings into Xalan.
Windows encodings within the range of 128-159 map out to a variety of
control characters in Unicode, so your problem begins with your source
document, not Xalan.
